Asheboro School
To Open Sept. 8
Preparations Being Made For
Opening—Colored School To
Open Week Later.
The Asheboro high school will open
Wednesday, September 8th, according
to the town school board. Every .prep
aration possible is being made for the
opening of the fall term. The entire
faculty has been chosen and in the
opinion of school people is one of the
strongest the local school has ever had.
The superintendent, Prof. Ralph
Hilker, and his wife have been in
Asheboro for some time and Mr.
Hilker Aas entered actively into the
preparations for the school opening.
The outlook is for a very successful
school this terra.
The colored school is to open one
week later, the contract with the
builders calling for the completion of
the new school building in east Ashe
boro by that time. Probably few peo
colored race is net costing the people
of Asheboro one penny, the money for
the work being furnished by the State
and the Rosenwald Fund. The only
expense incident to its construction
which the town will have to incur is
the extension of the water lines td
the new structure.
This expense, it is presumed, the
town will assume in order to assist
in making the building modem in
every respect since no other outlay
from the town treasury is called for
in the erection of the building.

Death Claims Mrs.
S. J. Smitherman
End Came Following Stroke of
Paralysis Friday Night At
Her Home In Troy.
FUNERAL HELD SUNDAY
Mrs. S. J. Smitherman died at her
home in Troy Saturday following a
stroke of paralysis Friday night. She
had been in her usual health during
the day Friday. She was found un
conscious sitting in a chair late in
the evening by her granddaughter.
She died about noon Saturday with
out having regained consciousness.
Mrs. Smitherman had recently been
to Baltimore to consult specialist con
cerning a former ailment but was as
sured her condition was much im
proved. She was before her marriage
Miss Monroe. She and her husband
have been actively interested in every
phase of activity and progress in the
community in which they lived. They
joined the M. E. church in Troy to
gether soon after their marriage and
until the death of. Mr. Smitherman a
few years ago, they stood side by
side in the upbuilding of the church
and community.
i
i
i
...
Upon the death of her husband,
Mrs. Smitherman was elected presi
dent of the Smitherman cotton mill
and it is a singular coincidence that
the death of D. M. Nordan, who had
for many years been superintendent of
the factory, died Saturday night fol
lowing Mrs. Smitherman’s death at
noon.
Mrs. Smitherman truly went about
doing good. That her kindness ex
tended not only to the white people of
the community but also to the colored
as well was demonstrated at the fun
eral Sunday afternoon when the
throng of colored people surrounded
the church during the service and sor
rowed with the host of white friends
assembled.
Mr. and Mrs. Smitherman were the
parents of twelve children, nine of
whom survive, and are as follows:
Mrs. Sam Ewing, Candor; Mrs. W. R.
Royal, Washington, N. C.; Mrs. Frank
Hurley, Troy; Mrs. J. C. Huriey,
Troy; Mrs. W. L. Trotter, Greensboro;
Misses Mary and Grace Smitherman,

ONLY SMALL LOT POULTRY
LOADED ON CAR HERB
Only 3,000 pounds of chickens were
received in Asheboro Tuesday and
Wednesday for the car which had
been placed for the purpose of having
loaded with poultry. The amount of
pounds was so small that the car was
not used and the chickens sent away
by truck. That the farmers did not
bring their poultry in larger quanti
ties is reasonably explained py the ft
county farm demonstrator who thinks %
they are waiting for better prices, al
though those paid at the car during
the two days was top of the present
market.
